'J'HIS  edition  of  the  Manual  of  the  Kansas  State  Board  of 
Education  is  published  in  compliance  with  an  order  for  the 
revision  and  publication  of  the  manual  adopted  by  the  Board  at 
a regular  meeting  held  August  8,  1906. 

This  manual  contains  all  the  general  rulings  and  resolutions 
of  the  State  Board  regarding  its  relation  to  the  accredited  col- 
leges of  the  state  and  to  applicants  for  the  several  kinds  of  cer- 
tificates issued  by  the  Board. 

Applicants  for  state  certificates  by  examination  or  on  diplomas 
of  graduation  from  accredited  schools  should  acquaint  them- 
selves with  the  Board’s  requirements. 

Accredited  colleges  will  be  expected  to  conform  to  the  Board’s 
requirements  as  regards  all  courses  whose  graduates  seek  recog- 
nition by  the  Board. 

This  manual  aims  to  give  definite  and  complete  information ; 
however,  the  state  department  of  education  will  be  pleased  to 
answer  any  questions  pertaining  to  the  Board’s  rules.

SECTION  3.— Lapsing  and  Revocation  of  State  Certificates. 

All  state  certificates  and  Normal  School  diplomas  lapse  as  certificates  if 
the  holder  is  not  engaged  in  school  work  for  three  consecutive  years.  In 
order  to  secure  recognition  for  any  year,  at  least  fifteen  weeks  of  school 
work  must  have  been  done  in  that  year. 

All  documents  of  certificate  value  may  be  revoked  by  the  body  issuing

1.  A three-year  renewable  state  certificate  may  be  renewed  on  the  fol- 
lowing conditions:  At  the  expiration  of  the  certificate,  if  the  holder,  in  the 
judgment  of  the  Board,  has  taught  successfully  two  years  out  of  the  three, 
and  has  kept  himself  well  informed  in  the  general  literature  of  his  profes- 
sion, the  holder  is  then  entitled  to  a life  certificate.  The  application  for 
renewal  may  be  made  within  the  period  of  six  months  before  or  six  months

CHAPTER  II. 

Accredited  Colleges. 

SECTION  l.  — The  Bases  upon  which  Institutions  may  be  Accredited. 

There  are  three  laws  which  authorize  the  accrediting  of  institutions  of 
learning.  The  provisions  of  these  laws  are  summarized  in  this  chapter. 

1.  Professional-examination  Course.  — Under  the  law  of  1893,  the  four- 
year  course  of  the  State  Normal  School  is  made  the  basis.  This  privilege 
may  extend  to  all  institutions  in  the  United  States  which  the  State  Board 
accredits  under  the  law. 

The  law  requires  such  institutions  to  maintain  a course  of  study  as  effi- 
cient as  the  four-year  course  of  the  State  Normal  School.  The  State  Board 
is  the  judge  of  this  condition.  Schools  accredited  under  this  law  must  con- 
tinue to  maintain  a course  of  study  equal  in  efficiency  to  that  of  the  State 
Normal  School. 

The  applicant  must  be  a graduate  of  the  accredited  school  since  its  ac- 
crediting. He  must  present  an-  official  transcript  of  record,  signed  by  the 
president  of  the  school.  Official  form  No.  115  is  furnished  to  these  appli- 
cants by  the  state  superintendent. 

If  the  applicant’s  transcript  is  approved,  he  is  given  credit  on  all  sub- 
jects so  completed  that  are  required  for  a state  certificate,  except  the  five 
professional  branches  in  which  he  must  pass  a satisfactory  examination  be- 
fore the  State  Board. 

When  the  requirements  are  met,  the  Board  issues  to  the  applicant  a 
three-year  renewable  certificate,  which  may  be  the  basis  for  a life  certifi- 
cate when  the  legal  requirements  have  been  met. 

2.  The  Arts  Course.—  Under  the  law  of  1899,  the  University  of  Kansas  is 
made  the  basis.  This  privilege  extends  to  institutions  in  Kansas  only. 

Institutions  accredited  under  the  law  must  maintain  a department  of  edu- 
cation and  maintain  the  same  or  equivalent  requirements  for  admission  to 
the  freshman  class  as  the  University  of  Kansas,  and  require  and  maintain  a 
regular  four-year  course  thereafter  for  graduation,  accredited  as  such  by 
the  State  Board  of  Education. 

Applicants  must  be  graduates  and  must  furnish  a transcript  of  record, 
signed  by  the  president  of  the  college.  Official  form  No.  116  will  be  fur- 
nished by  the  state  superintendent.  If  the  applicant’s  transcript  is  accepted, 
he  will  be  granted  a three-year  renewable  certificate  without  examination, 
which  certificate  may  become  the  basis  for  a life  certificate  by  his  meeting 
the  legal  requirements. 

3.  The  Normal  Practice-teaching  Course.  —Under  the  law  of  1899,  the 
requirements  of  the  State  Board  of  Education  for  a state  certificate  are 
made  the  basis.  Institutions  accredited  under  this  law  must  maintain  a 
course  of  study  which  includes  all  the  branches  required  by  the  State  Board 
for  a state  certificate.  In  addition,  the  applicant  must  have  given  at  least 
twenty  weeks  to  practice  teaching  in  the  model  school  of  the  institution.

Manual  of  the 


The  applicant  must  be  a graduate  and  must  present  a complete  tran- 
script of  record,  signed  by  the  president  of  the  school.  Form  No.  115  will 
be  furnished  by  the  state  superintendent. 

If  the  applicant’s  transcript  is  accepted,  he  will  be  issued  a three-year 
non-renewable  state  certificate. 

If  the  holder  pass  the  professional  examination  prior  to  the  expiration 
of  this  certificate,  the  State  Board  will  issue  a three-year  renewable  certifi- 
cate. 

SECTION  2.— Regulations  Pertaining  to  Accrediting  of  Colleges  by  the 
State  Board  of  Education. 

1.  Any  institution  of  learning  in  the  state  desiring  to  be  accredited  by 
the  Board  shall  submit  a full  outline  of  its  course  of  study,  together  with  a 
definite  statement  of  the  standard  required  for  admission,  of  the  amount  of 
time  given  to  each  subject,  of  the  scope  of  work  and  the  text  used  in  each, 
the  amount  of  laboratory  work  required,  and  the  proficiency  demanded  in 
final  examination.  If,  in  the  judgment  of  a majority  of  the  members  of  the 
Board,  the  course  meets  the  requirements  of  the  law  under  which  credit  is 
sought,  the  institution  shall  be  placed  upon  the  accredited  list.  All  applica- 
tions must  be  made  on  the  official  form.  This  form  will  be  furnished  by  the 
state  superintendent,  upon  application  by  the  president  of  the  school.  The 
application  must  be  complete,  and  must  be  accompanied  by  late  catalogue 
of  the  school.  In  addition  to  the  catalogue,  fullest  possible  information 
should  be  given  the  Board  as  to  the  school’s  professional  library  and  other 
equipment  which  bear  especially  upon  the  subject  of  teaching. 

2.  Graduates  of  such  institutions  shall  be  entitled  to  credits,  upon  the 
presentation  of  certificates  as  required  by  the  Board,  from  the  proper  au- 
thorities, specifying  the  grades  received  on  final  examinations  on  subjects 
completed  in  course  in  said  institutions. 

3.  Graduates  of  any  four-year  collegiate  course  of  study  in  the  State 
University  or  State  Agricultural  College,  or  of  any  approved  four-year  col- 
legiate course  in  accredited  institutions  of  learning,  may  be  permitted  to 
substitute  subjects  from  said  courses  in  place  of  the  common  branches,  sub- 
ject to  the  limitation  that  the  State  Board  may  require  examinations  in  the 
common  branches  if  the  manuscript  of  the  applicant  in  the  professional 
branches  warrants  such  requirement. 

4.  The  examinations  upon  the  professional  subjects  named  in  the  law  of 
1893,  and  upon  such  other  subjects  required  for  the  three-year  certificate 
for  which  the  candidate  may  be  unable  to  present  grades,  may  be  taken  at 
any  time  provided  by  the  regulations  of  this  Board. 

5.  Candidates  who  may  be  graduates  of  institutions  of  learning  outside 
the  state  will  be  required  to  present  similar  information  as  hereinbefore  re- 
quired for  institutions  within  the  state  concerning  the  institution  whose 
grades  they  wish  recognized. 

SECTION  3.— Certificates  from  Other  States. 

The  Board  maintains  reciprocal  relations  with  many  states  on  the  indorse- 
ment of  life  certificates. 


State  Board  of  Education. 


9 


Information  about  the  relation  of  any  particular  state  may  be  obtained 
by  addressing  inquiry  to  the  state  superintendent. 

Applicants  for  indorsement  must  file  application  on  form  No.  107,  fur- 
nished by  the  state  superintendent,  and  file  the  original  certificate  which 
they  desire  indorsed. 

In  case  the  certificate  is  accepted,  a certificate  of  proper  grade  of  the 
State  Board  will  be  issued  to  the  applicant. 

The  State  Board  does  not  interpret  these  reciprocal  relations  to  bind  the 
Board  to  indorsement  of  all  certificates  from  such  states.  Each  case  will  be 
considered  on  its  merits.

The  requirements  for  the  teachers’  diploma  of  the  University  of  Kansas 
are  by  law  made  the  standard  for  the  accredited  colleges  and  universities. 
They  are  as  follows: 


Note  1. — At  least  one  year  of  resident  work  in  the  University  of  Kansas  is  required  of 
all  candidates  for  degrees,  whatever  amount  of  college  credit  from  other  institutions  may  be 
offered. 

Note  2. — Candidates  for  advanced  standing  submit  detailed  statements,  with  certificates  in 
detail,  showing  the  work  done  in  other  colleges  or  universities:  certificates  for  entrance  credits 
are  also  required.  The  application  and  certificates  are  acted  upon  by  the  faculty  committee,  who 
are  authorized  to  give  a general  credit,  or  to  recommend  to  heads  of  departments  credits  in 
specific  subjects,  for  their  approval. 


State  Board  of  Education . 


11 


1.  Degrees.  The  teacher’s  diploma  shall  be  given  only  to  A.  B.,  A.  M. 
and  Ph.  D.  graduates  of  the  University  of  Kansas. 

2.  Special  Knowledge.  The  completion  of  at  least  four  terms  (twenty 
hours)  of  college  work  in  the  subject  or  closely  allied  subjects  that  the  candi- 
date proposes  to  teach;  the  ultimate  decision  as  to  the  candidate’s  proficiency 
to  rest  with  the  head  of  the  department  in  which  the  major  work  is  taken. 

3.  Professional  Knowledge.  The  completion  of  two  and  one-half  terms’ 
(twelve  and  one-half  hours)  work  in  the  department  of  education. 

4.  Amount  of  Work  Offered.  The  candidate  for  the  A.  B.  degree  who 
is  at  the  same  time  a candidate  for  the  teacher’s  diploma  shall  be  required 
to  offer  one  term  (five  hours)  of  undergraduate  work  more  than  is  required 
for  the  A.  B.  degree  alone. 

5.  Grade  of  Scholarship.  The  teacher’s  diploma  shall  not  be  granted  to 
graduates  whose  scholarship  in  the  twenty-five  terms’  work  offered  for  the 
degree  and  diploma  does  not  average  as  high  as  eighty-five  per  cent. 

The  State  Board  of  Education  prescribes  the  following  as  standard  courses 
of  instruction  in  professional  subjects  for  the  accredited  colleges  and  uni- 
versities : 

(1)  History  of  education,  not  less  than  bne  semester,  five  days  per  week. 

(2)  Philosophy  of  education,  not  less  than  one-half  semester,  five  days 
per  week. 

(3)  School  management  and  school  law,  not  less  than  one  semester,  five 
days  per  week. 

(4)  Methods  of  instruction,  not  less  than  one-half  semester,  five  days 
per  week. 

No  substitutes  or  equivalents  of  the  above-named  courses  may  be  offered 
in  accredited  colleges  and  universities  without  the  specific  consent  and  ap- 
proval of  this  Board,  previously  granted. 

Graduates  of  accredited  colleges  and  universities  applying  for  the  state 
teacher’s  certificate  under  the  law  of  1899  shall  be  required  to  submit  to 
the  State  Board  of  Education,  on  blank  forms  furnished  by  it,  a detailed 
record  showing  the  amount  and  kind  of  preparatory,  collegiate  and  profes- 
sional work  completed,  and  that  the  requirements  of  law,  as  interpreted  by 
the  State  Board  of  Education,  have  been  complied  with, 

The  Board  interprets  the  law  to  require  that  institutions  asking  to  be 
accredited  must  establish  and  maintain  a distinct  department  of  pedagogy , 
filled  by  a teacher  of  eminent  educational  qualifications , secured  through 
long  experience  in  the  schoolroom  and  through  special  pedagogical  studies, 
or  by  a full  college  course  which  shall  have  included  the  pedagogical  sub- 
jects which  he  is  t<J  teach. 

All  professional  work  must  be  done  in  an  institution  accredited  under  the 
law  of  1899,  or  else  the  examination  must  be  taken  in  the  five  professional 
branches. 

Those  colleges  whose  courses  have  been  approved  are  required  to  have 
at  least  100  volumes  of  standard  works  in  their  pedagogical  libraries. 

The  Board  will  recognize  summer  work  in  accredited  colleges  only  when 
such  work  is  done  in  a regularly  organized  term  of  not  less  than  ten  weeks 
and  the  teaching  is  done  by  the  regular  instructors;  provided,  that  not  more 
than  three  of  the  ten  weeks’  subjects  be  taken  in  any  one  summer  term.

SECTION  2. — Normal  Practice-teaching  Course , Law  of  1899. 

1.  Institutions  asking  approval  of  their  normal  courses  under  the  law  of 
1899  must  maintain  a course  which  shall  include  all  the  branches  required 
by  the  State  Board  for  a three-year  certificate.  This  requirement  will  be 
found  below.  In  addition  to  the  prescribed  course  the  applicant  must  do 
twenty  weeks’  practice  teaching,  under  the  head  of  the  pedagogical  de- 
partment. Practice  teaching  referred  to  must  not  include  any  teaching 
for  which  pay  is  received. 

2.  The  interpretation  by  the  Board  of  the  term  ‘ ‘practice  teaching,  ’ ’ as 
contained  in  the  law  (Laws  of  1899,  chapter  179,  section  3),  is,  that  it 
means  actual  model-school  work  as  given  at  the  State  Normal  School,  and 
that  it  requires  the  establishment  of  model  schools,  connected  entirely  with 
the  institutions  accredited.  Students  under  seventeen  years  of  age  are  not 
eligible  to  practice-teaching  in  the  State  Normal  School.  The  teaching  of  a 
few  classes  in  the  preparatory  department  will  not  be  accepted.  A model 
school,  in  the  full  sense  of  the  term  only,  will  be  accepted  for  this  require- 
ment. 

3.  Certificates  granted  to  graduates  of  normal  courses  of  accredited  in- 
stitutions under  the  law  of  1899  are  not  renewable.  The  Board,  however, 
may  grant  three-year  renewable  certificates  to  the  holders  of  such  certifi- 
cates, at  their  expiration,  upon  examination  in  the  five  professional  branches. 

4.  Not  less  than  two  years  resident  work  will  be  approved  by  the  Board. 

5.  Standards  of  work  equivalent  to  those  of  the  State  Normal  School 
should  be  maintained  in  this  course. 

REQUIREMENTS  OF  STATE  BOARD  FOR  A STATE  CERTIFICATE. 

The  following  branches  are  prescribed  for  a state  certificate  and  form 
the  basis  of  the  course  of  study  for  the  normal  practice-teaching  course. 

The  quantity  and  quality  of  work  done,  requirements  for  admission  and 
resident  work  are  the  same  as  required  for  the  professional  examination 
course. 

To  be  entitled  to  a three-year  renewable  certificate,  the  candidate  — 

1.  Must  pass  a satisfactory  examination  in  the  following  branches:

4.  A candidate  for  the  three-year  certificate  may  substitute  for  any  two 
of  the  branches  numbered  8,  9,  and  10  (previously  mentioned),  any  two  of 
the  following  branches  required  for  the  diploma  : Political  economy,  chem- 
istry, Latin. 

5.  At  the  expiration  of  this  certificate  the  holder  will  be  granted  a life 
certificate,  upon  furnishing  satisfactory  evidence  of  having  met  the  require- 
ments for  renewal. 

SECTION  3.  — The  Professional-examination  Course , Law  of  1893. 

Colleges  accredited  under  the  law  of  1893,  whose  graduates  are  admitted 
to  examination  in  the  professional  branches  by  the  State  Board  of  Education, 
are  subject  to  the  following  requirements: 

1.  The  texts  to  be  used  in  all  of  the  subjects  embraced  in  the  course 
are  to  be  those  approved  by  the  State  Board  of  Education,  or  those  gener- 
ally recognized  as  their  equivalent. 

2.  The  laboratory  work  in  all  appropriate  subjects  should  be  done  largely 
by  students  themselves,  and  should  be  in  full  keeping  with  the  spirit  of  mod- 
em laboratory  instruction. 

3.  While  the  text-books  furnish  a general  outline  or  basis  for  the  work 
in  each  subject,  all  of  it  should  be  accompanied  with  supplementary  reading 
in  the  library  in  such  a way  as  to  awaken  and  insure  constant  freedom  of 
investigation  and  independence  of  thought.  It  would  be  a great  mistake  for 
any  teacher  to  imagine  that  all  the  work  which  the  Board  would  like  done  is 
to  be  found  in  the  limits  of  any  text-book.  All  the  resources  of  the  labora- 
tories and  the  libraries  provided,  as  well  as  of  the  world  outside,  should  be 
utilized. 

4.  In  conference  with  the  representatives  of  several  institutions  interested 
at  the  time  these  regulations  were  finally  adopted,  it  was  agreed  that  the 
regular  college  preparatory  classes  wholly  completing  subjects  should  not 
be  considered  to  meet  the  requirements  of  the  law,  and  that  independent 
classes,  keeping  constantly  in  view  the  elaboration  of  general  principles, 
and  their  application  to  practical  work  in  the  schoolroom,  should  be  organ- 
ized for  the  normal  course ; that  they  should  continue  for  the  time  mentioned 
in  the  course  submitted  to  the  State  Board  for  approval,  and  that  every  ef- 
fort should  be  made  to  make  the  work  comprehensive  enough  to  prepare  the 
students  thoroughly  for  teaching  the  common  branches,  as  well  as  the  other 
subjects  embraced  in  the  course.  It  was  further  agreed  that  the  classes 
throughout  the  course  should  be  taught  by  the  regular  college  professor  in 
charge  of  those  subjects,  and  not  by  the  student  assistants  nor  inexpe- 
rienced tutors. 

5.  Each  subject  in  the  normal  course  found  also  in  the  regular  collegiate 
department  is  to  be  taught  by  the  regular  professor  in  charge;  and  if  inde- 
pendent classes  are  formed,  they  are  to  cover  the  same  ground,  and  be 
taught  as  thoroughly  and  efficiently  as  the  regular  collegiate  classes. 

6.  Permanent  records  of  the  work  of  each  student  are  to  be  kept,  giving 
a full  history  of  his  entrance  and  course  until  graduation. 

7.  From  the  educational  standpoint,  the  Board  naturally  regards  the 
professional  subjects  to  be  of  even  greater  importance  than  the  academic,  and 
expects  that  teachers  thoroughly  prepared  to  give  instruction  in  them  will

be  provided  in  every  institution  whose  course  it  approves.  If  this  move- 
ment is  to  accomplish  much  for  the  schools  of  our  state,  it  must  be  through 
a somewhat  exhaustive  and  liberal  study  of  every  phase  of  educational 
theory  and  practice. 

8.  Special  attention  is  called  to  the  details  of  section  3 of  the  law  of 
1893,  and  an  earnest  appeal  is  made  to  the  institutions  interested  to  join 
most  heartily  in  carrying  out  the  regulations  of  the  Board  and  in  maintain- 
ing a high  standard  for  the  state  certificate.  Schools  accredited  under  this 
law  should  acquaint  themselves  with  every  requirement  of  the  law.  The 
full  text  of  the  law  will  be  found  in  this  pamphlet. 

SECTION  !>.— State  Normal  School  Requirements. 

Following  is  the  statement  of  the  State  Normal  School  entrance  require- 
ments, basis  of  credits,  and  course  of  study ; 

I.  ENTRANCE  REQUIREMENTS. 

1.  Students  presenting  common-school  diplomas  implying  completion  of 
eighth-grade  work  are  required  to  make  a record  in  ten  weeks’  classes  in  the 
following  preparatory  subjects  before  being  admitted  to  the  work  in 
corresponding  subjects  in  the  normal  department : Algebra,  arithmetic, 
bookkeeping,  civil  government,  political  geography,  physical  geography, 
grammar,  Kdnsas  history,  United  States  history,  literature,  penmanship, 
physiology,  reading,  and  spelling.  Ten  weeks  (one  hour  each  week ) are  also 
required  in  parliamentary  law.  The  work  in  the  following  preparatory  sub- 
jects, designated  as  the  “required  subjects,”  is  to  be  completed  before  any 
work  is  taken  in  the  normal  department : Arithmetic,  reading,  political  geog,- 
raphy,  grammar,  United  States  history,  writing,  and  spelling. 

2.  Students  holding  third-grade  certificates  are  subject  to  the  same  re- 
quirements as  those  presenting  common-school  diplomas,  except  that  excep- 
tionally high  grades  in  any  subject,  accompanied  by  evidence  of  teaching 
experience,  may  be  a basis  for  credit  in  any  preparatory  subject. 

3.  Students  holding  certificates  above  the  third  grade  are  admitted  to 
the  normal  department  without  condition  on  subjects  in  which  the  certificate 
grade  reaches  eighty,  except  that  holders  of  second-grade  certificates  must 
complete  the  record  in  preparatory  bookkeeping  and  literature. 

4.  Graduates  of  approved  high  schools  or  of  other  schools  of  equivalent 
or  advanced  grade  are  admitted  without  examination. 

5.  Students  not  meeting  the  above  conditions  may  be  admitted  to  nor- 
mal classes  by  examination  in  the  “required  subjects. ” The  minimun  grade 
for  passing  is  eighty  per  cent. 

II.  ADVANCED  CREDITS. 

1.  Holders  of  first-grade  or  professional  certificates  may  receive  half 
credit  in  elocution  and  are  admitted  to  methods  classes  in  arithmetic, 
grammar,  United  States  history,  and  geography,  completing  these  subjects 
in  five  weeks,  reciting  daily,  or  in  twenty  weeks,  one  hour  per  week,  pro- 
vided their  certificate  grades  on  these  subjects  are  at  least  ninety  per  cent. 

2.  Graduates  of  high  schools  whose  diplomas  admit  to  the  freshman 
class  of  the  State  University  are  given  from  one  to  two  years’  credit  on 
the  normal  course,  the  amount  of  credit  varying  according  to  the  subjects

taken  and  the  degree  of  proficiency  indicated  in  the  record  of  the  student. 
In  general,  the  credits  given  in  high-school  subjects  are  such  as  to  require 
ten  weeks  as  the  minimum  work  in  the  following  subjects  in  the  normal 
course:  Algebra,  botany,  general  history,  bookkeeping  and  penmanship 
(combined),  rhetoric,  literature,  physics,  physiology,  zoology,  chemistry, 
geology.  Geometry  may  be  given  full  credit  if  both  plane  and  solid  have 
been  taken.  In  Latin  and  German,  the  minimum  work  required  of  high- 
school  graduates  is  twenty  weeks,  though  three  or  five  years  of  high-school 
work  has  been  taken.  High-school  graduates  whose  courses  have  included  a 
review  of  the  common  branches  (taken  in  ninth  grade  or  above,  with  texts 
supplementary  to  those  used  in  the  grade)  may  complete  arithmetic,  elocu- 
tion, geography,  grammar  and  American  history  in  ten  weeks  each,  instead 
of  the  required  twenty  of  the  normal  course. 

3.  Graduates  of  high  schools  not  reaching  the  University  standard  or 
students  having  partially  completed  high-school  courses  may  be  admitted 
to  the  normal  department,  subject  to  conditions  in  the  branches  required  for 
admission  not  appearing  in  their  record,  and  only  such  advanced  credits  will 
be  given  them  as  appear  on  individual  showing  to  be  justified  by  their 
record  in  the  subjects  they  have  pursued. 

III.  COURSE  OF  STUDY. 

Following  is  the  four-year  course  designated  as  the  life-certificate  course 
of  study  in  the  State  Normal  School,  at  Emporia.  Subjects  printed  in  small 
capitals  are  elective;  all  others  are  required.  Subjects  followed  by  the  star 
are  ten  weeks’s  ubjects;  all  others  are  twenty. 

LIFE-CERTIFICATE  COURSE  OF  STUDY.

4.  Chemistry,  twenty  weeks,  and  geology,  twenty  weeks,  in  addition  to 
that  listed  as  an  elective  in  the  course. 


SECTION  5.— Professional  Branches . 

For  the  information  of  all  interested,  short  outlines  of  the  work  desired 
in  each  of  the  professional  subjects  are  herewith  submitted.  The  merest 
outline  is  presented  in  each  case,  with  the  thought  of  giving  the  greatest 
possible  freedom  consistent  with  the  spirit  of  the  law  and  the  ends  which 
the  Board  of  Education  has  in  view.  A thorough  acquaintance  with  psy- 
chology is  essential  to  the  successful  prosecution  of  any  of  the  professional 
subjects.  In  addition  to  the  books  listed,  the  reports  of  the  National  Bureau 
of  Education,  the  transactions  of  the  National  Educational  Association  and 
the  great  educational  and  literary  periodicals  will  be  found  invaluable. 

HISTORY  OF  EDUCATION. 

TWENTY  WEEKS. 

Antecedent  work  is  required  in  general  history,  and  the  work  for  its  best 
results  should  have  as  broad  a basis  as  possible  in  a knowledge  of  philo- 
sophic and  religious  systems  and  the  political  and  social  forces  that  have 
affected  the  history  of  thought  and  determined  the  stages  in  institutional 
and  individual  evolution  in  race  history.  It  is  not  so  much  an  accumulation 
of  facts  as  a study  of  relations;  an  attempt  to  trace,  so  as  to  observe  its 
historic  continuity,  the  intellectual  life  of  the  race. 

The  work  is  presented  by  topical  outline,  questions,  lectures,  and  copious 
library  references,  the  aim  being  to  give  a comprehensive  view  of  the  scope 


State  Board  of  Education. 


17 


of  subject  and  to  furnish  a general  introduction  to  pedagogic  literature  and 
the  study  of  educational  theory  from  its  historic  aspects.  The  specific  top- 
ics included  in  the  study  are:  Pre-Christian  systems,  especially  Greek  and 
Roman,  with  particular  reference  to  their  relation  to  the  development  of 
the  medieval  and  modern  school;  the  transition  from  pagan  to  Christian  edu- 
cation; modern  education  since  the  renaissance,  educational  reformers  and 
innovators;  the  development  of  modern  school  systems,  particularly  German, 
French,  and  English;  detailed  study  of  education  in  the  United  States. 

From  a list  of  about  500  volumes  placed  upon  the  reserve  shelves  of  the 
library  during  each  term,  the  following  works  for  reading  and  reference  are 
suggested  as  covering  very  satisfactorily  the  more  important  phases  of  the 
work.  In  addition  to  these,  particularly  on  American  education,  the  most 
valuable  source  book  is  Barnard’s  Journal  of  Education,  and  valuable  refer- 
ence work  is  found  in  the  Reports  of  the  Commissioner  of  Education,  the 
Proceedings  of  the  National  Educational  Association,  Education,  the  Edu- 
cational Review,  and  other  periodicals.  As  an  extended  bibliography,  Cub- 
berley’s  Syllabus  is  most  suggestive  as  a practical  guide  for  class  work, 
arranged  with  direct  reference  to  the  work  that  may  reasonably  be  accom- 
plished in  the  time  suggested.  The  “Outline  Studies  in  the  History  of  Edu- 
cation,” by  Arvin  S.  Olin  (revised  edition,  published  by  the  author,  Lawrence, 
1906),  is  an  excellent  working  manual.

PHILOSOPHY  OF  EDUCATION. 

TEN  WEEKS. 

This  subject  is  the  capsheaf  of  the  professional  work.  It  cannot  be 
taken  to  the  best  advantage  without  a thorough  knowledge  of  psychology  as  a 
foundation.  In  education,  as  elsewhere,  science  must  precede  philosophy. 
Many  indeed  would  question  whether  there  be  a real  philosophy  of  educa- 
tion, holding  that,  as  yet,  education  is  not  even  scientific  in  most  of  its 
phases,  and  that  a true  philosophy  of  education  is  therefore  impossible. 
Whatever  the  truth  in  the  matter,  the  student  should  hold  to  a course  that 
will  give  him  a wide  range  of  educational  facts,  and  should  seek  an  open- 
mindedness  towards  truth  that  will  in  the  end  insure  broad  views  of  the 
question.  In  other'words,  he  should  not  be  too  hasty  in  applying  the  foot- 
rule  of  a particular  philosophical  system  to  education  in  any  other  than  a 
tentative  fashion,  for  it  is  a well-known  fact  that  too  early  formulation  of 
immature  ideas  into  a system  is  often  a misfortune,  causing  a satisfied  mind 
to  arrest  its  growth. 

Notwithstanding  the  above  caution,  however,  this  subject  should  be  pre- 
ceded also  by  a course  in  the  history  of  philosophy,  to  give  in  perspective  a 
view  of  the  development  of  thought  on  its  highest  level,  and  especially  to 
bring  the  student  into  contact  with  the  great  problems  concerning  God,  the 
world  and  man  which  have  attracted  the  race  in  all  ages.  With  the  last  of 
these,  with  which  this  course  has  to  do,  philosophy  raises  the  questions  of 
his  origin,  nature,  and  destiny,  and  to  each  of  them  the  answer  comes  not 
alone  from  philosophy,  but  also  from  direct  study  of  the  child  and  his 
nature. 

1.  The  Social  Phase  of  Education.— Let  it  be  held  in  mind  that  education 
does  not  deal  with  an  abstract  child,  an  average,  a class  or  a type,  but  with 
individual  children.  With  all  due  emphasis  on  individuality,  however,  it 
must  be  recognized  that  the  child  is  not  an  isolated,  but  a social,  being,  with 
a social  inheritance  and  outlook. 

2.  The  Biological  Phase.—  Magnify  the  relation  of  the  child  to  the  world 
of  nature.  The  past  half-century  has  shown  the  value  of  the  developmental 
idea.  In  education  and  in  every  phase  of  life  it  has  proved  the  master-key. 

3.  The  Physiological  Phase.— The  close  connection  between  body  and 
mind  compels  education  to  take  note  of  physical  development  in  relation  to 
mental.  Here  come  in  the  science  of  physiology,  hygiene,  manual  training, 
athletics,  gymnastics,  etc. 

U.  The  Psychological  Phase.—  The  nature  of  mind  and  the  laws  of  its

development  are  to  be  sought.  This  knowledge  will  give  us  our  principles 
of  education  and  will  determine  our  methods.  Education  must  concern  it- 
self, however,  with  more  than  the  intellectual  side  of  mind.  Psychology  is 
coming  late  to  the  view  that  the  old,  deep-seated  instinct  feelings  are  of 
paramount  importance  in  the  child  life  as  the  channels  of  mental  heredity 
and  as  the  sources  of  interests  to  be  made  large  use  of  as  they  arise. 

5.  The  Philosophy  of  Education.  This  preliminary  work  done,  the  stu- 
dent may  properly  seek  a synthesis  of  results  not  possible  before. 

Broadly  speaking,  education  is  a world  process.  The  child  is  the  product 
of  all  that  has  gone  before,  “the  heir  of  all  the  ages.” 

In  the  narrow  sense,  education  is  always  a matter  of  personal  develop- 
ment, aided  by  the  total  social  environment,  but  chiefly,  as  it  appears  in  the 
influences  of  home,  school,  community,  and  church  life.

SCHOOL  LAW. 

This  subject  should  be  studied  not  merely  for  the  purpose  of  determining 
the  facts  of  law,  but  also  for  obtaining  a knowledge  of  the  conditions  making 
present  laws  necessary  or  desirable.  This  requires  a historical  as  well  as 
a technical  study  of  many  of  the  topics.  The  historical  development  of  the 
state  system  in  educational  organization  should  be  considered,  and  a study 
of  the  Kansas  school  plan — the  schools  composing  it,  their  relations  to  each 
other  and  to  the  whole— as  a type  of  this  system  should  be  made.  Attention 
should  be  given  to  the  origin  of  public  funds  for  the  various  schools,  the  his- 
tory of  the  growth  of  the  funds,  the  relative  size  of  the  funds  in  Kansas  and 
other  states,  and  the  various  methods  of  distributing  the  earnings  of  the 
funds.  The  nature  and  extent  of  taxes  for  school  purposes,  the  disposition 
of  school-lands  and  the  issuing  of  school-district  bonds  should  all  receive 
careful  consideration.  The  supervision  and  control  of  the  schools  on  the 
part  of  the  state,  the  counties,  and  the  individual  districts— the  various 
officers  concerned  and  the  functions  of  each— are  matters  that  demand  special 
treatment.  The  laws  governing  the  organization  of  schools  in  cities  of  the 
first  and  second  classes  should  be  studied.  The  various  certificate  laws— 
state,  county,  and  city— the  requirements  for  certificates  and  the  privileges 
carried  should  have  careful  treatment.  A study  should  be  made  of  the  com- 
pulsory-education law  and  the  juvenile-court  law,  together  with  a considera-

tion  of  the  attention  given  such  laws  in  other  states.  While  the  primary 
object  sought  should  be  a knowledge  of  the  Kansas  laws,  these  can  be  better 
understood  by  a comparison  with  laws  prevailing  in  other  states.

SCHOOL  MANAGEMENT. 

Because  of  the  very  nature  of  this  subject,  it  is  impossible  for  any  book 
to  give  a treatment  of  the  topics  that  should  be  considered  in  a course  for 
college  students.  The  work  should  include  a study  of  present-day  problems 
incident  to  school  organization  and  management  rather  than  the  proverbial 
text-book  discussion  of  general  matters.  This  does  not  mean  that  many  of 
the  works  on  school  management  are  not  valuable— in  fact,  a knowledge  of 
the  subject  as  treated  in  a good  text-book  is  presupposed— but  rather  that 
they  are,  of  necessity,  incomplete.  The  best  of  them  need  to  be  supple- 
mented by  current  educational  periodicals  and  other  magazines,  newspaper 
reports  and  discussions,  state  and  national  reports,  and  a direct  study  of 
conditions  prevailing  in  our  schools.  This  renders  necessary  a good  work- 
ing library  as  well  as  extensive  magazine  list.  In  fact,  it  may  well  be 
questioned  if  satisfactory  work  can  be  done  without  both  of  these.  In  ad- 
dition to  the  general  class  work,  it  is  recommended  that  students  be  assigned 
topics  for  individual  investigation  and  report. 

The  following  topics  are  suggested  as  showing  the  scope  and  character 
of  the  work  required  : 

1.  The  People  and  the  Schools.—  Democratic  character  of  the  schools: 
rights  and  responsibilities  of  the  people  with  regard  to  support  and  control; 
disadvantages  of  the  district  plan  of  support  and  control ; consolidation  of 
schools.  The  school  and  the  community : means  of  securing  cooperation  of 
the  patrons  in  the  work  of  the  school ; the  school  as  a social  and  as  a culture 
center.  Teachers’  pensions. 

2.  School  Organization  and  Control.  — External  relations:  place  in  com- 
munity life;  the  course  of  study— matters  determining ; schools  to  meet 
special  needs— night  schools,  vacation  schools,  industrial  and  trades  schools. 
Internal  relations:  the  school  program— matters  determining,  order  of  sub- 
jects, lessening  number  of  classes;  opening  exercises;  government  and  dis- 
cipline-rules and  regulations,  school  self-government,  special  means  of 
dealing  with  truants  and  incorrigibles;  the  classroom— objects  of  the  recita- 
tion, controlling  the  classes,  making  up  recitations;  graded  versus  individual 
systems;  tests  and  examinations;  promotions;  records  and  reports;  marking 
systems;  agencies  for  extending  school  influences— athletics,  school  socie- 
ties, school  gardens,  school  savings-banks. 

3.  Material  Appliances  in  School  Economy. — School  grounds:  location, 
size,  and  shape;  use  made  of  grounds;  playgrounds  — location,  equipment,  and 
control.  School  buildings:  material  used  in  construction;  exterior  appear- 
ance; interior  arrangement;  lighting,  heating,  and  ventilation;  school  deco- 
ration. Books  and  libraries : means  of  obtaining ; permanent,  circulating 
and  home-made  libraries;  selection  and  care  of  books;  text-books— uniform, 
open  lists,  and  free. 

4.  Administration  and  Supervision.  — Boards  of  education:  composition 
of  boards;  methods  of  selecting;  functions;  present-day  tendencies.  The 
superintendent:  relations  to  board  of  education;  functions;  means  and  meth-

1.  The  examination  questions  in  each  branch  will  be  given  to  candidates 
at  the  beginning  of  the  time  allotted  to  the  examination  in  that  branch,  and 
at  the  expiration  of  that  time  the  written  answers  will  be  collected. 

2.  During  the  examination  the  candidates  shall  be  seated  as  far  apart  as 
possible,  and  they  will  not  be  allowed  to  communicate  with  one  another. 

3.  Answers  should  be  brief,  but  must  be  complete  in  logical  exposition 
and  in  grammatical  structure.  The  answers  in  mathematics  must  show  the 
process  as  well  as  the  result  in  each  case. 

4.  In  grading  candidates,  due  weight  will  be  given  to  the  character  of 
manuscripts  in  regard  to  penmanship  and  neatness  of  arrangement  of  an- 
swers. 

5.  The  standing  of  candidates  in  spelling , composition  and  penmanship

supplies— paper,  pen,  ink,  erasers,  pencils,  etc. 

9.  The  examination  in  advanced  subjects  will  comprehend  the  matter 
embraced  in  text-books  used  in  the  collegiate  departments  of  first-class  col- 
leges. 

10.  These  certificates  and  diplomas  supersede  the  necessity  of  any  and 
all  other  examinations  of  the  persons  holding  them  by  county,  city  or  local 
boards  of  examiners,  and  are  valid  in  any  county,  city,  town  or  school  dis-

28  Manual  of  the 

The  following  resolution  was  passed  relating  to  applicants  for  institute 
certificates: 

“The  Board  has  deemed  best  to  establish  certain  general  qualifications 
for  applicants  for  institute  certificates  and  to  publish  the  same  for  informa- 
tion of  the  applicants.  The  Board,  however,  reserves,  without  qualification, 
the  right  and  power  to  determine  the  fitness  of  an  applicant  to  receive  an 
institute  certificate.  The  judgment  of  the  applicant  that  he  meets  the  re- 
quirements of  the  Board  is  not  deemed  sufficient  reason  for  the  Board’s 
taking  favorable  action  upon  his  application.”

Laws. 

SECTION  1.— Accredited  Colleges. 

An  Act  amending  sections  7 and  9 of  article  6,  chapter  122,  Laws  of  1876, 
entitled  ‘ ‘An  act  for  the  support  and  regulation  of  common  schools,  ’ ’ and 
providing  for  the  acceptance  of  certain  grades  from  certain  institutions 
of  learning  by  the  State  Board  of  Education. 

Be  it  enacted  by  the  Legislature  of  the  State  of  Kansas : 

1.  There  shall  be  a State,  Board  of  Education  consisting  of  the  state  su- 
perintendent of  public  instruction,  the  chancellor  of  the  State  University, 
the  president  of  the  State  Agricultural  College,  the  president  of  the  State 
Normal  School,  and  three  others  to  be  appointed  by  the  governor  by  and 
with  the  advice  and  consent  of  the  senate,  selected  from  among  those  en- 
gaged in  school  work  in  the  schools  of  the  state.  The  three  thus  appointed 
by  the  governor  shall  hold  their  office  for  a term  of  two  years,  or  until  their 
successors  are  duly  appointed  and  qualified.  The  State  Board  of  Education 
thus  constituted  are  hereby  authorized  and  empowered  to  issue  state  di- 
plomas to  such  professional  teachers  as  may  be  found,  upon  a critical  exam- 
ination, to  possess  the  requisite  scholarship  and  culture  and  who  may  also 
exhibit  satisfactory  evidence  of  unexceptionable  moral  character,  and  of 
eminent  professional  experience  and  ability,  and  who  have  taught  for  two 
years  in  the  state.  All  such  diplomas  shall  be  countersigned  by  the  state 
superintendent  of  public  instruction,  and  shall  supersede  the  necessity  of 
any  and  all  other  examinations  of  the  person  holding  the  same  by  county, 
city  or  local  boards  of  examiners,  and  such  diplomas  shall  be  valid  in  any 
county,  city,  town  or  school  district  in  the  state  during  the  lifetime  of  the 
holder,  unless  revoked  by  the  State  Board  of  Education.  ( School  Laws 
1905,  §33.) 

2.  The  State  Board  of  Education  shall  meet  at  such  times  and  places 
as  by  them  may  be  deemed  necessary  and  transact  such  business  as  may 
legally  come  before  them,  and  examine  all  applicants  who  may  present 
themselves  for  such  examination;  and,  if  satisfied  with  the  scholarship, 
culture  and  moral  character  of  the  applicant,  and  with  his  professional  at- 
tainments and  experience,  said  Board  shall  issue  a state  diploma  or  certifi- 
cate, as  the  case  may  be,  in  accordance  with  such  examination  and  the 
provisions  of  the  law.  The  State  Board  shall  prescribe  a course  of  study 
for  the  normal  institutes  and  for  the  public  schools  of  the  state,  and  shall 
revise  the  same  when  the  interests  of  the  schools  require  it ; provided,  that 
the  course  of  study  for  elementary  schools  shall  include  all  studies  required 
by  chapter  435  of  the  Session  Laws  of  1903  and  section  6235  of  the  General 
Statutes  of  1901.  The  auditor  of  state  is  hereby  authorized  to  issue  war- 
rants upon  the  state  treasurer  against  any  funds  not  otherwise  appropriated 
for  the  actual  expenses  of  the  members  of  the  said  Board  of  Education  in- 
curred in  attending  the  meetings  or  examinations  provided  for  in  this  act, 
except  for  the  examinations  as  specified  in  section  8 of  this  act ; provided,

in  each  case,  that  said  warrant  shall  issue  only  upon  the  statement  verified 
by  affidavit  of  the  member  submitting  such  account,  and  approved  by  the 
secretary  of  said  Board  of  Education;  provided  also,  that  the  sum  total  of 
said  expenses  of  the  Board  shall  not  exceed  $300  per  annum.  (Laws  of 
1905,  ch.  387,  §1.) 

SECTION  2.— State  Certificates. 

Additional  State  Certificates.—  The  Board  of  Education  is  furthermore 
authorized  and  empowered  to  issue  state  certificates  of  high  qualifications 
to  such  teachers  as  may  be  found,  upon  examination,  to  possess  the  requisite 
scholarship,  and  who  may  also  exhibit  satisfactory  evidence  of  good  moral 
character,  and  ability  to  teach,  and  skill  to  govern  and  control  children. 
The  certificates  issued  by  the  State  Board  of  Education  may  be  of  two 
grades— one  for  three  years  and  one  for  five  years;  and  all  certificates  issued 
by  said  Board  shall  be  countersigned  by  the  state  superintendent  of  public 
instruction,  and  such  state  certificate  shall  supersede  the  necessity  of  all 
other  examinations  of  the  persons  holding  them  by  county  or  local  boards 
of  examiners;  and  such  certificates  shall  be  valid  in  any  county,  city,  town 
or  school  district  in  the  state  for  the  term  of  three  or  five  years  (as  therein

of  Kansas,  the  State  Board  of  Education  shall  have  the  power  to  examine 
the  course  of  study  prescribed  and  the  character  of  the  work  done  by  it, 
and  if,  in  the  judgment  of  said  Board,  it  shall  prove  to  have  as  efficient 
course  of  study  as  the  four-years  courses  of  study  in  the  State  Normal 
School,  the  said  State  Board  of  Education  shall  have  power  to  accept  grade 
given  on  academic  subjects  Completed  in  course  and  passed  in  regular  ex-

for  the  state  certificate,  which  said  Board  is  empowered  to  give  by  sections 
1 and  2 of  this  act  and  section  8 of  article  6,  chapter  122,  Laws  of  1876. 

2.  The  Board  shall  examine  all  persons  whose  grades  are  thus  accepted

Normal  School,  viz. : Philosophy  of  education,  history  of  education,  school 
laws,  methods  of  teaching,  school  management,  and  upon  such  other  sub- 
jects as  the  regulations  of  the  Board  require  upon  which  they  are  unable  to 
present  grades  as  required  in  section  3 of  this  act.  (See  paragraph  above). 

3.  To  all  persons  receiving  credits  and  passing  examinations  as  required 
in  the  preceding  sections,  the  State  Board  of  Education  shall  issue  the  three- 
years  certificates  provided  for  by  the  sections  mentioned  by  the  third  section 
of  this  act,  and  at  the  expiration  of  that  time,  if  the  holder  of  said  certificate 
satisfies  the  Board  that  he  has  taught  successfully  at  least  two  years  out  of 
the  three,  and  has  kept  himself  well  informed  in  the  general  literature  of  his 
profession,  said  Board  shall  issue  a life  certificate  in  lieu  of  the  first  one  is-

ship as  required  in  section  3 of  this  act,  shall  be  entitled  to  similar  credits.

6.  The  State  Board  of  Education  is  authorized  to  give  examinations  at 
the  institutions  whose  courses  of  study  it  approves,  each  institution  bearing 
the  expenses  of  the  same. 

7.  When  the  said  Board  satisfies  itself  that  any  institution  is  not  main- 
taining the  standard  by  which  it  received  the  approval  of  the  Board,  its 
graduates  shall  not  be  entitled  to  the  credits  provided  for  in  section  3.  ( See 
paragraph  1.)

this  state,  holding  a state  certificate  issued  by  any  other  state  in  the  United 
States,  secured  the  same  by  passing  an  examination  equivalent  to  that  given 
by  said  Board,  it  may  issue  to  said  person  the  certificate  as  provided  for  in 
section  3 of  this  act,  without  further  examination. 

9.  All  life  certificates  issued  by  the  State  Board  of  Education  or  by  the
